Straight from Paris Fashion Week comes sporty street style inspiration to pep you up now... Go Varsity! Sound familiar? We brought the sporty Varsity insignia trend to your attention back in July with our coverage of one of Raf Simons final hit collections at Jil Sander straight from the runway -in case you missed.

I'll Have What She's Having: A fresh, late season update by way of you belt your coat, just so Let's face it, we are all getting a bit sick of winter.

I'll Have What She's Having: Paris Fashion Week street style proves to have zippy classic age-appropriate inspiration with business chic takes on animal print skirts. Animal prints can have a fabulously downtown cool edge, like our street style ladies and their leopard pants from London Fashion Week, yet too much fierceness may get out of hand for work. But not always, especially if you follow the super chic cues from these two sophisticated ladies, above, snapped at Paris Fashion Week.

Some things in Parisare almost a given, a rite of passage if you will. There's that tentative yet boldy self-confident attitude. Polar opposites that when they come together, with a cute accent thrown in, are oh soooo French. Then's there's the love for simple, yet classic pieces, with something bold thrown in to pop. The attitude and the style are almost the same, no? Yes, of course they are! H&M is beginning a style video series and the 'Parisian Chic' street style is the 2nd to roll out today. We think it's very worthwhile to watch and captures the je ne sais quoi of young French style that is a simple, yet timeless recipe for easy chic. Take a look:

Follow my timeless French chic fashion tips and you can master Parisian style, where ever you are… French chic… What to wear in Paris (our Paris inspiration shopping guide is at the end of the page) Dear Sharon: I'm going to Paris for vacation and don't want to look like a tourist.
